Hide a leave category from employees
On this page
Sometimes, you may have leave types (like Sabbatical or Admin Leave) that should only be visible to HR or managers — not to employees. HRStop allows you to hide such leave categories easily.
Follow these steps:
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Go to Control Panel
Log in to your HRStop portal and click Control Panel from the dashboard or menu.
Step 2: Click Settings
Inside the Control Panel, select Settings to access all configuration options.
Step 3: Open the Leaves section
In Settings, find and click the Leaves section. This is where all leave-related settings are managed.
Step 4: Select the leave category to hide
You’ll see a list of leave types like:
- Casual Leave
- Sick Leave
- Parental Leave
- Special Leave
Click the leave category you want to hide.
Step 5: Enable “Hide leave from employees”
On the leave details page, select the Hide leave from employees checkbox.
- Select it if you don’t want employees to see or request this leave.
- Leave it unchecked if you want it visible.
Step 6: Save changes
Click Update to apply the changes. Your settings will be saved immediately.
What happens next?
- Employees will no longer see the hidden leave in their dashboard or while applying.
- Managers and HR can still view and manage it.
- Ideal for internal or sensitive leave types.
Why use this?
- To keep admin or special leave types private.
- To simplify the employee view.
- To protect confidential or management-only leaves.
Summary
By following these 6 steps, you can control which leave categories are visible to employees — keeping your leave system organized, secure, and clear.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't an employee see the leave category they want to apply for?
A leave category is visible to an employee applying for leave only if they are entitled to or eligible for that leave category. Recheck your entitlement rule and edit it if required.
